# Telegraf [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf) [![Docker pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/library/telegraf.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/_/telegraf/)
Telegraf is an agent written in Go for collecting metrics from the system it's
running on, or from other services, and writing them into InfluxDB or other
[outputs](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf#supported-output-plugins).
Design goals are to have a minimal memory footprint with a plugin system so
that developers in the community can easily add support for collecting metrics
from well known services (like Hadoop, Postgres, or Redis) and third party
APIs (like Mailchimp, AWS CloudWatch, or Google Analytics).
New input and output plugins are designed to be easy to contribute,
we'll eagerly accept pull
requests and will manage the set of plugins that Telegraf supports.
See the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions on writing
new plugins.
## Installation:
### Linux deb and rpm Packages:
Latest:
* https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf_1.0.1_amd64.deb
* https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.0.1.x86_64.rpm

### yum/apt Repositories:
There is a yum/apt repo available for the whole InfluxData stack, see
[here](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.10/introduction/installation/#installation)
for instructions on setting up the repo. Once it is configured, you will be able
to use this repo to install & update telegraf.

### OSX via Homebrew:
```
brew update
brew install telegraf
```
### Windows Binaries (EXPERIMENTAL)
Latest:
* https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.0.1_windows_amd64.zip
### From Source:
Telegraf manages dependencies via [gdm](https://github.com/sparrc/gdm),
which gets installed via the Makefile
if you don't have it already. You also must build with golang version 1.5+.
1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install)
2. [Setup your GOPATH](https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH)
3. Run `go get github.com/influxdata/telegraf`
4. Run `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/influxdata/telegraf`
5. Run `make`
## How to use it:
See usage with:
```
telegraf --help
```
### Generate a telegraf config file:
```
telegraf config > telegraf.conf
```
### Generate config with only cpu input & influxdb output plugins defined
```
telegraf --input-filter cpu --output-filter influxdb config
```
### Run a single telegraf collection, outputing metrics to stdout
```
telegraf --config telegraf.conf -test
```
### Run telegraf with all plugins defined in config file
```
telegraf --config telegraf.conf
```
### Run telegraf, enabling the cpu & memory input, and influxdb output plugins
```
telegraf --config telegraf.conf -input-filter cpu:mem -output-filter influxdb
```
## Configuration
See the [configuration guide](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) for a rundown of the more advanced
configuration options.
